A spontaneous jump of joy with Tina Varela from Buckshot Cafe in Niland, California

Tina Varela photographed by Eyoalha Baker for Jump for Joy Photo Project and Palm Springs Cultural Center Artist Residency

Tina was one of our servers at the Buckshot cafe. We stopped in for a bite during our epic road trip to Salvation Mountain and of course just had to invite her to jump for joy. We went across the street to an jalopitated building that had burnt down and been abandoned. Tina has such a vibrant and friendly demeanour and it was so fun to do jumping photos with her. Just looking at her photo makes me smile.

Thanks Tina for sharing your gorgeous jumping joy energy with us!
